Washington Letter,
(From our Boulder Correspondent.)
WAalnNcroN, Juan 80, 1858.
Tho proclamation to postnnastors con -
corning the unmailablo oharactor of on.
volopes containing offensive platter writ.
ton or printed on then) is needed in a
large class of oases. Two Wren for ex-
ample, have a dispute over an account,
whtoh remains unsettled in consequence.
Tho ono who considers himself a creditor
goes to an egenoy. Tho agency, if it fol-
lows the course against which the pro-
clamation is, in part, directed, first sends
through the mulls a demand for the
amount in controversy, enclosed in nn
envelope rather conspicuous for its shape,
size and color, and with retell words ae
"Blank's Collection Agony" in heavy
black letters on its face. If a speedy re-
sponse is not forthcoming another de-
mand arrives, in a still mote conspicuous
envelope, containing the name of the
agency and some phrase like "Second
Notice to Delinquent Debtors." '1'llls
demand encloses 1a third envelope, cover-
ed with references to "Bad Debts,"
"Dead Beats," "Black -lege,' "Sneaks,"
"Frauds," eto., so couched as to just
come outside of the pale of the libel law
of the state where the agency is situated,
but with the obnoxious words printed in
type wbieh catches every eye; and the
alleged debtor is warned that, if the
claim is not paid in ton clays, au envelope
of this sort will bo used for wrapping a
third demand. To save their families
from the distress which the receipt of
such mail matter at their homes would
:give them, men frequently yield to de-
mands that in their judgenlont have no
foundation in justice. The thoroughly
illogical character of the whole busiooss
is manifest from the fact that none but
a sonsative spirit is affeoted by this sort
of treatment. A man who is really a
dodger of honest debts is not Apt to be
troubled with sensativeness. It is well
to have the lino drawn between the enter-
prise in tbo collection of debts and in
blaclomailing alleged debtors,
The Democratic members of the ways
and means committee have become con-
vinced that the discussion of the 'tariff
under the presort methods would be
practically interminable, and they will
endeavor to take 0011011 at an early day
to bring it to a close. They are now
only about two-thirds through the free
list, and there is enough before thorn to
pretreat the matter into next winter, un-
less the opposition cease their tactics.
Tho Democratic leaders will wait until
Mr. McKinlay and other Republicans
have had a few days to recover from the
fatigue of the convention. They will
then meet them, and make an earnest
effort to Colne to an agreement that a
vote may bo reached within a reasonable
time. If they fail in this they will do all
in their power to secure n change of
rules, so as to take the bill from the com-
mittee of tho whole into the House end
force a vote. It is probable that the Re-
publicans would flhlibuster against such
a change of rules, but the Democrats be-
lieve that with a majority they will be
able to accomplish it. They are deter-
mined to get a vote on the bill.
The Republicans about the Capitol have
aroused themselves to warmer cowmen -
(Miens of the Chicago ticket than they
seem inclined to express directly after
the nominations were made. As a rule
they say now that it is a growing ticket,
one that will grow in popular favor as
the canvass progresses. With regard to
Gen. Harrison's reeord on the Chinese
question, the Peoiflo coast Republicans
say that his reasons for voting against
certain bills to restrict Chinese immigra-
tion will not hurt him ; that at the time
h0 cast the votes he said Chinese immi-
gration ought to be restricted, but he
held that the bills pending contravened
provision of existing treaties ; that as a
constitutional lawyer, Senator Harrison
voted to sustain his legal views of the
question et issue.
The Indiana Democrats say they ere
satisfied, and they are already hunting
up Barrieen's record on the labor ques-
tion.
Congressman Frank Lawler has not
yep decided whether to try his fortunes
for re-election or not. He has it very
tempting offer from a big firm in Chica-
go to, represent them, and, as he is an
honest, energetic, straight -forward man,
ho would doubtless do well in business,
Mr. Lawler lives very quietly and econ-
omically here beeenso he has to, and he
is not ashamed of the fact. Rig eleotion
expenses in the last campaign ate up
nearly his entire salary for ono year, and
economy was in consequence absolutely
necessary. If Mr. Lawler secludes to
retire from Congress, it is probable that
the district will be again represented by
Toho Finnerty., who made a reputation
hero se the twister of the British lion's
tail in the Portyeight Congress.

the bill on the calabhumpian line, and
after "doing" tho town an a<ljoarnment
W00 made to the Square.
Some little disappointment was felt at
the non-appearance of outside base ball
clubs, but the want was supplied, in a
measure, by a lively game of six innings
between the "Nohoes" and the "Malt.
lands." The former were too heavy for
their opponents as the following score

The Niagara Park.
Proposition to Build it New Bridge over
the Niagara Sliver.
Tho Park Commissioners of the Ameri-
can reservation met Saturday at the Falls
and transacted routine business. They
also adopted this resolution : The Com-
missioners of the State Reservation at
Niagara deem it fitting to give expression
to their concurrence in the views of
their predecessors in office as to the de-
sirability of providing an embellished
roadway from the lands of the reservation
along the Niagara River to the bond at
the whirlpool rapids, and that at a point
just below the whirl of the rapids a
bridge be thrown ones the river to the
Canadian side, thus affording to the
public unrestricted opportunity to wit-
ness all the majestic features of the net.

A. H. Musgrove, of Whiteolurch, um-
pired the game in a meet satisfactory
manner.
After dinner the program of sports
was talon up and the events closely and
keenly contested. A. Currie and Be
Thompson had tho sprinting in their
own hands and in the jumping the honors
were divided between D. Ross, A. Currie,
J. MoBain, W. Brown and J. McMillan.
The boll rano and the jockey raoe afford-
ed considerable amusement. One of the
most laughable events of the day was
the tub roe on the mill dans, when three
boys essayed to cross the river and re-
turn in tubs. Nelson Clerry was the
only ono who accomplished thofeat With.
out a ducking. Walking the spring pole
proved too much of an undertaking for
the boys.
A. Currie and el. 1h Cardiff were the
oaptains of the tug of war, the respective
teams being chosen from the
and Mor-
ris townships. For Grey aide there were
Jas. Brown, A. Motbay, W. Brown, D.
Ewan, R. Wray, 1V. Farquharson, H. Al-
cock, Jno. McDonald and P. McDougall.
Morris was represented by Sue. Bowman,
Jno. Currie, Samuel and Henry Oalbiok,
Wm. McArter, E. Brower, S. Jackson,
W. Gawloy and D. McDonald. After
tugging a few seconds a dispute arose
over the manner of pulling and the re-
sult was that the tug of tear was declared
off, although Moiris claimed one hoot
which was not allowed by the judges.
Now ground was chosen but the men
from the west would not pull again un-
less the first trial was oonntod in their
favor.
Another game of base ball was played
in the afternoon between the olubs chosen
from the two local clubs. Seven innings
wore played and 80100 good work done.

Hon. Chas. Drury concluded the pro-
gram in a half hour address. He dealt
with the quesbion of coopetition of for-
eign agricultural products with the Can-
adian exports to the English markets,
He fully belt the responsibility that had
been laid upon him. He trusted that 11e
would bo supported in the work he had to
do by the farmers of this Province, and
in return promised to devote his whole
energy to the performance of his duty.
Ho could say, after having kept careful
accounts these last few years, that farm-
ing had not been very lucrative. But
young mon had to do something, and en-
gaging in farming was, ho considered,
more likely, to yield a happy, contented
life with fair competence than any of the
professions. Young mon were often at -
treated by the glamor of city life and re-
ports of large incomes earned by pro-
fessional mom and merchants. But their
attention had never boon directed to the
thousands of doctors and lawyers who,
failing to gain prominence in their pro.
!miens, eked out a bare existence. They
had not, when reading of fortunes uredo
by morcheuts, considered the track
strewed with ruins and failure, The
profession of farming was drowded, but
not more than others. T110 cleverest
doctor or the cleverest lawyer was the
one that suede a 8000008 fn Iifo, and so
would it be with the farmer. Tho Agri-
cultural College, as an institution to give
femora' sons an opportunity to gain
knowledge and skill in farming, was of
eminent worth.
